I disagree. I hope my children do not spend inordinate amount of resources helping me. I want them to live life while they are young and healthy.

If I ever need day to day care for basic needs, I hope I can put myself out of my misery. I want society’s resources to go towards the young, not to keep 80+ year olds limping along.

I watched my parents spend their youth taking care of day to day needs for my dad’s elderly parents. What a waste. My grandparents lived far too long, especially at my mom’s expense.
